First Baptist Church
Walton, Kentucky
Walton, Ky., Sept. 1, 1926
Rev. H. Boyce Taylor
Murray, Ky.

     Dear Bro. Taylor: I have just closed the greatest meeting in the history of the church of which I am pastor. Bro. Harry Myers of Latonia was with me to lead the sing­ing and did this in a great way. I did my own preaching irrespective of my illness of last summer. The first week was one in which the Lord tested our faith by a rainstorm each evening, but His Spirit was at work on the hearts of the unsaved even at home. From Saturday night of the first week until the end of the meeting the house was filled each ev­ening, and on several evenings there were enough on the outside to have filled it again. We had 36 additions, thirty-two of them coming for bap­tism. Since the first of this year we have taken into our membership 70 additions, over two-thirds of them coming for baptism.

     May God's blessings rest upon your good work.

Very truly yours,
John R. Gilpin.
